When British soldier Jody (Forest Whitaker) is lured into an IRA trap by the seductive Jude (Miranda Richardson), he finds himself a pawn in a deadly game of negotiations. One of his guards, Irish Republican Army volunteer Fergus, takes pity on him, and the two strike up an unlikely friendship. When the kidnapping goes horribly wrong, however, Jody is killed. Wracked with guilt, Fergus escapes and heads to London, where he seeks out Jody's lover, a hairdresser named Dil (Jaye Davidson). Fergus adopts the name "Jimmy" and gets a job as a day labourer. He also starts seeing Dil, who knows nothing about Fergus' IRA background. But there are some things about Dil that Fergus doesn't know, either. When Jude, disguised in a wig, shows up to drag Fergus back, there is a tense showdown in which none of the characters can hide behind race, gender or politics.
